could. A letter was read by Secretary
Page from Prof. Henry Fairbanks, who
was unable to be present.
Secretary Page was the final speak
er and in a brief talk brought out some
of salient points of association work
and the needs of the organization To-

These exercises were interspersed
with musical selections and uprOariOus

America was sung by the audience

"The two Brothers" which completely
broke up the audience and, when they
tried to repeat in response to an en-

A NOVEL LAWSUIT.

Relating to the Value of Deer's Heads
torney Dunnett's office Monday after
noon before Judge w. P. Smith. Dr.
o. e. Nettleton brought the suit
against Taxidermist Graham to recov-
er 800, which he claimed was the
value of certain deer head which was
leftswith Graham to be mounted but
which had been sold. 1t seems that a
| PeaclIam man, friend of DR.. Nettle-
toms, while hunting in the Rocky
mountains shot two deer, brought
home the heads and antlers and left
them with Graham, with directions to
mount one for himself and that Nettle-
ton could have the other if he would
pay for the mounting. This NettletOn
agreed to and the price was fixed at
So for the job. Later on Graham no
titled Nettleton that his deer head was
but the DIR. didn't call. Later
still Graham sent i'm his bill accOmpa-
MED with a printed card stating that
all goods not called for within 90 days
after they were ready would be sold.
The prescribed 80 days passed and
Graham notified Nettleton that unless
he came for his deer head before the
following Saturday night it would be
sold. None of these appeals moved
the Dr., but some time afterward he
walked into Graham's with that all
pervading smile of his, pulled out a
plethOric pocket bOOk and said he'd
take that deer head. Graham said he
had sold it, hence the suit. Dunnett
& Hosford represented Nettleton and
Bates & May, Graham. Nettleton tes-
tilted that the actual value of the head
was $50 and the value to him as il was
gift was 500. Graham said that he
had sold it for 81 and that plenty of
them could be bought for from $40 to
$15. Judge Smith rendered judgment
for Nettleton, granting him $40, less
the amount of Graham's bill of So,
holding that while Graham had right
to hold the property until all charges
were paid, he had no right to sell it.
The DIR. received his balance of 81 on
the spot and the case was at an end.
The DR.. stood the remarkable drop in
the value of that deer head, from 500
to 81, with remarkable equanimity.

Serious Accident.


Mrs. NettletOn, mother of DR.. 0. E.
NettletOn, was thrown from a sleigh
and broke her arm Monday afternoon.
Mrs. NettletOn was driving down Sum
mer street accompanied by Mrs. Tin
ker, while DIR. NettletOn was following
in another sleigh. Both horses had
been going at brisk pace and the DR..
cautioned his mother not to turn the
corner, but she probably did not hear
distinctly and turned into Central
street, when the sleigh was overturned
throwing both ladies out. Mrs. Net
tleton struck ON her right side break
ing her arm near the shoulder. Mrs.
Tinker was uninjured. The horse ran
back to his stable and neither horse
nor sleigh were injured. Mrs. Nettle-
ton is 65 years old and suffered con-
siderable pain but is as comfortable
as could be expected.

Expensive COasting.


This has been bad week for acct
dents in this vicinity as our town news
indicates, the most notable one being
the coasting accident at Barnet Mon
day evening, which will be costly
one to Rev. Mr.. BOardman who was
delirious until Tuesday noon but is
now thought to be better, though he
will be laid aside from active duties
for long time. The question as to
where the responsibility rests in such
cases is a difficult one to settle. The
town is not responsible, but we under
stand that those engaged in the coast
ing are responsible. How would it do
to give the boys field, or some place
not thOroughfare, for cOasting, and
compel them to keep out of village
streets with sleds9 Then innocent
people going about their business will
not he liable to manning or death by
this "sport."

A very painful cOasting accident oc-
cured here on Monday evening. Rev.
Joseph BOardman left the seven O'Clock
train and was walking up from the
station and had arrived where the
hotel lights shone in his eyes. Just
then a travers sled with several bows
came at full speed. Mr.. Boardman
stepped aside to avoid it when another
sled which he had not seen struck him
with such force as to break both bones
in his leg and threw him upon the ice
with such force as to give him very
ugly wound on his head. Since that
time he has been delirious and friends
are very anxious not knowing how Sc
riously he may be injured. tits strict
ly against the law to coast on the high
way, yet every year the law is disre-
garded and such fearful accidents oc-

Out Of the simple statement that H..

announcement of the failure of this

Fletcher has for many years been i'm

firm are distributed through the state
by other means. No correction is nec-
essary with those familiar with the
history of the firm, but the item might
